Introduction
Spectate watches your websites, APIs, servers and domains. When something breaks, it alerts the right person, helps your team work on the incident, and tells your customers on a status page. Spectate is made and hosted in the EU.
What Spectate does
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Uptime monitors | Check websites, APIs, servers, DNS and mail servers from four regions, every 30 or 60 seconds depending on the plan. |
| Hosts | Collect CPU, memory, disk and network metrics from your servers with a small agent. |
| Domains | Warn before a domain registration or its DNS setup causes downtime. |
| Alerts | Turn failures into alerts, and send them to people through escalation paths and channels. |
| On-call | Decide who is on call, with rotations and overrides. |
| Incidents | Give the team one place to work on a problem: updates, roles, a timeline and a postmortem. |
| Status pages | Tell your customers what is up and what is down, on your own domain. |
